[@davashorb6116]

He made Trask a truly memorable character.

[@hollyb6885]

Dark Shadows was pure theatre. It was (and still is) WONDERFUL!

[@jeanettesmith765]

I'm rewatching Dark Shadows after many years and am loving Jerry Lacy's portrayals. What a talent and so handsome!

[@lennomenno]

Lacy played the Trasks brilliantly.

[@lucysmith8326]

He sure did💯👍

[@timmclaughlin232]

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

[@janetlieb2507]

Yes! Brilliant!💙

[@phtevlin]

A strikingly handsome man.

[@KimI-ib5ji]

Indeed!

[@marydallas1]

Very reserved. This man is a class act.

[@m.e.d.7997]

Married to Julia Duffy. Nice looking man.

[@David-yw2lv]

As a Star Trek fan, I had a fantasy casting where Jerry Lacy and Lara Parker would play a Klingon couple of noble rank.Julia Duffy,the real life Mrs.Jerry Lacy,would play their daughter.

[@LoveFlatfootin1]

He has a wonderful speaking voice.

[@donschwellenbach5461]

Yes he is very strikingly handsome

[@lesmorrow226]

Yes, and he has aged well too

[@leemclaury6251]

I watched “Dark Shadows” as a kid when I came home from high school. Fond memories .

[@wisdomfromgeorge1704]

Jerry Lacy such a classy gentleman you got to love him

[@phtevlin]

He and Thayer David were my favorite actors in this series. The Reverend Trask and Professor Stokes.

[@sharonlynnh.1951]

Yes, two very intense actors Thayer David, (Prof. Stokes, Count Petofi/sheer evil, Sandor, etc) and Jerry Lacy (Trask iconic characters, spellbinding)..."Clarice Blackburn (Mrs. Johnson), etc, etc etc so many iconic characters on DARK SHADOWS that the DS's star Cast brought to Life, light. Amazing.

[@lucysmith8326]

Yes Thayer David played Professor Stokes well!!

[@daniellebrothers3688]

What a fascinating interview. With reruns of DS on tv AND access to these interviews, I really have enjoyed learning all these behind the scenes stories!

[@pattibrooks1907]

I loved Dark Shadows and loved him as Trask and he s a great good actor I LOVE LARA TOO !

[@sharonlynnh.1951]

Oh me oh my Jerry LACY (our much "hated & evil" Rev. Trask, Gregory T., Lamour T., etc.,) is so handsome: it was truelly an "surprise delight" to finally see & meet this incrediable actor & other DS's legends @the50th Dark Shadows Anniversary (Halloween in LA 2016): his demeanor is very calm/direct , very nice and his eyes "beautiful-fiery" like he can see through you. Big smile (made us nervous abit) he took a pix w/us (sister/I), signed autographs: we'll treasure this keepsake forever!! Thank you, Mr. Lacy.

[@donnaferrier101]

Very handsome man, & really enjoyed his acting on the show.” Trask “ what a character to portray! He was wonderful!👏👏👏👏💕

[@6828Lu]

Jerry Lacy is such a wonderful guy. I love hearing him talk about his career.

[@franktheo2055]

The Reverend Rocks ! I watched Dark Shadows from the late 1960's - the early 1970's. Like a lot of kids I was so drawn to this show it was the best 1/2 hour a kid ever had after school at 04:00 PM. It's been over 50 years since I've seen an episode. I don't remember much other than the caricatures. I've been tuning into episodes and documentaries here on KZbin and I never realized how great Dark Shadows really was. You can only go back once, This Is Without A Doubt The Best Second Time Around ! 🦇🌹

[@tyroberts2261]

He also did the best Humphrey Bogart impression. Check out Play It Again Sam

[@sharonhenderson8956]

Such an charismatic Mystic legendary Actor Jerry Lacy🌠 so magnetic his eyes and all around Stage presence. His love to hate Dark Shadows iconic characters Rev. Trask, Gregory Trask and Lamar Trask are sinisterly unforgettable. Chiller. And his Tony Peterson 1st roll a heart-thr💛b & strongly believe he comes from the TRASK Family line. Thanks MR. LACY for bringing them "all" to Light.

[@61MARCOP]

He used to do a good impression of Humphrey Bogart's Sam Spade back in the day.

[@jpsned]

He played Bogart in Woody Allen's movie "Play It Again Sam."

[@Janadu]

Part Bogie and part Mr. Rogers.

[@geo-george2639]

Very apt description!

[@kerryincolumbus]

Julia Duffy is very lucky to be married to such a good looking man!

[@charlaharmon776]

Mr. Jerry you are one fine man!

[@philipstallino8752]

Resembles Humphrey Bogart.

[@dr.migalitoloveless1651]

He played Humphrey Bogart's ghost in the Woody Allen movie, PLAY IT AGAIN SAM.

[@TaDarling1]

Now this was the guy that knew how to play 'evil'.

[@angelagarnet5775]

What a lovely man. So different from the DS characters.

[@floresoleu6801]

Do you really realise how beautifull you were and still??ç

[@phillyflash43]

It would have been great to have Rev. Trask guest on SNL's "church chat" with Dana Carvey's Church Lady, but alas...

[@lf7961]

An outstanding actor.

[@66collinwood]

Great interview with one of my favorite actors from Dark Shadows!

[@702ringo1]

What a wonderful actor! He did such a great job on that show.

[@annmarie7488]

I've always been struck how much he reminds me of Humphrey Bogart. Jerry has been married to actress Julia Duffy since 1984. They have two children, the younger one died by suicide two years ago. :(

[@delavalmilker]

I liked him as lawyer Tony Peterson . He added a nice hard-edged character to the series. Something that was missing from the show when Burke Devlin (the Mitchell Ryan version) left.

[@ernestmchugh3132]

Jerry was so handsome!

[@tadimaggio]

For all of its over-the-top plotlines, "Dark Shadows" made a surprising number of trenchant points about human behavior in the course of its run. One of my favorites was in the 1795 story (which was probably my favorite). Reverend Trask was a fanatical witch-hunter and religious bigot, who had come across a house where there actually WAS a witch at work. Not only did he manage to misidentify her, but the real witch used him as her dupe against an innocent woman, to divert suspicion from herself. It was a potent lesson that extremism is always an evil counsellor, even when the danger it is out to destroy is, in itself, very real. As a teacher of mine always said, whenever she heard somebody use the term "crying wolf": "Never forget that there actually WAS a wolf in that story."

[@philipancell516]

Excellent point!!!

[@Ladybugz2]

You remind me of my uncle up in heaven, at first I hated you on the show but I loved you after You always crack me up the wtich! the witch!! and how cunning and sneaky you were with Amanda, and Joan Bennet, and back when I was growing up I wish my dad had let me watch it, I am on 2nd time around with hubby I still cry, laugh, and always loved you on the show but I must admit Tony wasn't the best part you did, it was Trask or Rev. Trask you knew the Bible oh my I loved gregory trask also, and all parts you do are amazing I can't go a day without watching at least 10 epsiodes or more. You always cheer me up. LOVE LOVE LOVE This show! FOREVER.

[@upinflames_01]

Fascinating interview!

[@tombovitale2597]

This actor Jerry Lacey was very good in dark shadows with his characters in a very handsome man too...😊

[@tubularbill]

What a class act

[@StuNodd]

A marvelous actor!

[@jad8123]

Very dapper guy. Classy!

[@michaelhughes432]

I remember when Jerry Lacy appeared as the Rev. Trask on DS, he always reminded me of a young version of Christopher Lee. After Dark Shadows was canceled, Jerry went to be a Humphey Bogart impersanator on TV commercials for Right Guard Deodorant Spray & he played the Humphey Bogart look alike in the Woody Allen movie, "Play It Again, Sam."

[@PeasantWithaPitchfork]

I've got such a crush on Jerry Lacy😐

[@xxxqwertxxx]

Me too🥲

[@lonniebooker970]

Great soap actor and guest star from Dark Shadows known as "Reverend Trask", "Tony Peterson", "Mr. Trask", "The Butler Trask" and "Gregory Trask".

[@HeadoftheSeniorClass]

Mr. Lacy is an actor for the ages! His Trask characters will be loathed as much as his Bogart will be loved.

[@davidgagnon3781]

The first Reverend Trask was my favorite too.

[@kathrynbellerose3925]

Excellent actor.

[@wildforthecats661]

Hated Trask, shows how great Lacy’s acting was in the series.

[@ashleycurrin4317]

I love him as, Butler Trask in the 1970 parallel time, and I like him as, Tony Peterson!

[@FilmBuff54]

I found him hilarious as Trask, when he would raise his eyes to the Heavens, even though his character was evil, he was also very funny. I also loved him as Bogart in “Play It Again, Sam.”

[@Barnabas45]

I always wanted to know what the deal was with all those flies on the set???

[@hak4890]

He was at the DS Festival in ‘86 with his beautiful wife, Actress Julia Duffy.

[@hollyprincipato3287]

Trask tried to exorcise Victoria Winters....very cruel to her. She should have beat your butt! Both Trask characters were insane. God Bless you Mr. Lacy

[@Marcel_Audubon]

hard to believe he's 85 now ... that makes me ... oh, never mind!

[@karendegraaf1146]

He played the ghost of Bogie in "Play it again, Sam"

[@sherryparkman7635]

ty love it. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

[@JohnVKaravitis]

Actress Laurette Spang introduced him to his wife, actress Julia Duffy.

[@theresachiorazzi4571]

I kinda see a slight resemblance to Humphrey bogart believe it or not does anybody else see that

[@kaymedwa]

Witch Hunter Trask my favorite too⚡️

[@kathyshore1004]

He was a bad ass dude as Reverend Trask.

[@ricogomez4020]

This guy looked scary like the devil as Trask.

[@billlamont817]

I Wonder If Mr. Rogers Wanted The Ministers Part.

[@bettykirkland9107]

Jerry you got on my nerves more then once 😂 lol!

[@johnkobak3027]

Yes hedid!!!

[@sandradavis4551]

Hello handsome! Is he still with us?

[@skipeastport5529]

Yes. He’s 84 and still married to Julia Duffy from Newhart and Designing Women. Their adult son committed suicide a couple of years ago. Very sad.

[@sandradavis4551]

Oh, ok. Thanks for the update Skip.

[@loribpidgeon]

man u scared the piss out of me

[@LILTONY1961]

Bogart of D's,Grayson hall-crawford...frid-lugosi,Joan Bennett-hoan Bennett!... Ha!

[@philipancell516]

I had heard thru a resource I can't divulge that when Joan Bennett slapped him that she felt so bad about it that she flubbed her line and if anyone watches it they will clearly see thats true. Loved Joan as much as Jer ..!!

[@daddy2299]

I've heard that too, from some of the actors.

[@David-yw2lv]

I think if Jonathan Friday had not played Barnabas,Jerry Lacy would have been good in the role.After Dark Shadows,Jerry Lacy played a detective in As the World Turns.I would also have considered Jerry Lacy would have been a good Han Solo in the Star Wars movies.Two other Dark Shadows alumni who I would have considered for the role of Han Solo are David Selny and John Karlen.

[@floresoleu6801]

Hola, estas riky

[@debramiles5176]

He played rev tracks brilliantly I surely hated him vary handsome man out of costume

[@tylerhynes0]

Trask hahaha you Evil guy

[@mickeymartin464]

Very handsome 😍, I didn't like Trask though.

[@M10000]

Reverend Trask will live forever. I call Dark Shadows the Angelique, Reverend Trask, and Mrs. Collins show co-starring Barnabas.

[@hollyprincipato3287]

I hated Trask!

[@loribpidgeon]
